L.A. storms to grow more destructive as sea level rises, study says
The effect of global warming on sea level will worsen coastal flooding and erosion as major storms produce higher tides and bigger waves and storm surges, a city-commissioned study finds. Major storms will be more destructive to coastal areas of Los Angeles as sea level rise accelerates over the century, according to a new study the city of Los Angeles commissioned to help it adjust to climate change.

Arctic sea ice melted less in 2013, but climate change isn't slowing, NOAA says
To the naked eye, it might seem climate change is slowing. But taking climate science in one-year chunks is not telling, because there is always year-to-year variability.

Thanks To Parasites, Moose Are Looking More Like Ghosts
Parts of the U.S. and Canada have seen a rapid decline in moose populations that may be linked to climate change. And, scientists and hunters warn, those declines have often been accompanied by a surge of infestations of the winter tick.

Climate Watcher Says He's Done With Flying
Meteorologist Eric Holthaus has made his career monitoring the Earth's climate, and he's alarmed at what he sees. After reading a new, bleak international report on climate change, Holthaus has decided one important way to reduce his carbon footprint is to give up airplane travel for good.

To Fix Climate Change, Scientists Turn To Hacking The Earth
Some very mainstream scientists are saying that the climate change situation is so bad that saving life as we know it might require something radical: like shooting chemicals into the stratosphere or to protect earth from the sun or sucking carbon dioxide from out of the atmosphere.

Global warming 'hiatus' puts climate change scientists on the spot
Theories as to why Earth's average surface temperature hasn't risen in recent years include an idea that the Pacific Ocean goes through decades-long cycles of absorbing heat.It's a climate puzzle that has vexed scientists for more than a decade and added fuel to the arguments of those who insist man-made global warming is a myth.

Scientists Look Into Reasons For 2012's Dramatic Weather
Scientists looking back on last year's extreme weather events conclude that human-induced climate change didn't cause any of the events, but appears to have made some of them worse. The results are published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
